Questions · प्रश्न

How many Amavasya dates are there in 2014?

13: the first is Pausha Amavasya on Wednesday, 1 January 2014, the last Pausha Amavasya on 21 December 2014.

2014 में कितनी अमावस्या हैं?

13 — पहली पौष अमावस्या (1 जनवरी 2014), अंतिम पौष अमावस्या (21 दिसंबर 2014)।

Why can the Amavasya date differ between cities?

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, and the tithi at sunrise (or at moonrise, pradosh or the ingress, as the vrat needs) names the day. Sunrise differs by place, so a city far from Delhi can keep the vrat a day apart; the month calendar gives your city's dates.
